Well, luckily for me she at least told me today that I don’t have to come back for two weeks! These weekly follow-ups are a little tough to schedule and I would LOVE to have just one week where I can say I don’t have ANY doctor appointments!

Anyway, she received all of my testing from the cardiologist and she does not agree with him that it isn’t Lyme related. Lovely. I told her I followed up with the thyroid doctor and he doesn’t think it’s my thyroid either. So I guess we have 2 out of 3 votes for Lyme. And being that I didn’t like the cardiologist or anyone in his office, I’m more inclined to side with them. Regardless, unless there’s a block, they can’t do anything about it. We just have to treat the Lyme.

The good news is that all of my other blood tests are showing perfectly, even with the increase in Rocephin. Everything with my liver, kidneys and CBC is spot on. So at least that’s one thing that’s perfect! Crazy though that these tests can look so good when I feel so bad!

I told her the chest pain was continuing and is mainly at night. She doesn’t seem too concerned with it since my heart tests were normal. I asked about my gallbladder but she said that if it was my gallbladder, the pain would be on the right. I’ve seen some people who said their pain was on the left with it too. But she’s the doctor so I guess I’ll trust what she’s saying.

As for treatment, I think I mentioned before that it looks like I’ll be going the full 12 weeks. May as well at this point, just about another month to go! She said after my IV treatment ends, I’ll be going back on oral meds. She mentioned I may go back on the Doxy or she sometimes uses Zithromax. So I guess we’ll see about that when the time comes.

TWO whole weeks without a doctor’s appointment now! I hardly know what to do with myself! 🙂
